Join us at Liberty Mountain Resort this winter season for the perfect mountain getaway! Plan an overnight stay, one-day "snowcation" or weekend getaway with the whole family. Stay in our slopeside Liberty Hotel and enjoy meals at our various eateries, including McKee's Tavern and the newly improved bakery. Enjoy skiing, snowboarding and snow tubing on our over 100 acres of skiable terrain. Our mountain includes 16 trails, 5 quad chairlifts, 3 terrain parks, and a large snow tubing hill. Our Ski and Snowboard Schools offer a wide variety of lessons and programs for all ability levels, and specialize in first timers to the sport. Unsure about skiing or snowboarding? Give snow tubing at try at the Boulder Ridge Lodge! Featuring 15 tubing lanes, a special kiddie tubing area for those ages 2-4, party rooms, an outdoor deck, and food and beverage in the beautiful lodge, Boulder Ridge Snow Tubing creates a fun winter atmosphere for everyone. During your visit, be sure to check out our latest resort upgrades - new quad chairlift on the backside of the mountain, Alpine Room redesign, new lift station area at the First Class Area quad, and the exciting addition to the terrain parks. Best of all, we've added more computerized and automated snowmaking so we will be able to make more of the fluffy white stuff faster, and more efficiently. We will be whiter and "greener" at the same time!

Tucker Senior Member Registered: 03/14/05 Posts: 796 Loc: Canaan Valley	I am a bit of a mess now that Lesher's site is no longer going. Anyone know of a site or resource that would report snowfall/rain amounts for previous days here in the valley/davis? _________________________ "what I lack in decorum, I make up for with an absence of tact"

fishnski Senior Member Registered: 03/27/05 Posts: 2741 Loc: the beach at wilmington,NC	Keeping a record..a daily report from Whitegrass is great but to archive everything to compare later on down the road for us and future dcskiers is priceless. I have the book that Dave lesher put together on the climate of Canaan Valley. You can go back in time before records were kept to read pieces of folks diaries which are extremly interesting but the steady stream of daily and yearly recorded data (starting in 1944) is most important. _________________________ ALPine in the APPalachians..WV Alpps...Bring on Almost heaven!

chaga Senior Member Registered: 11/24/09 Posts: 328 Loc: canaan valley, wv	Apparently the NWS is looking for someone to take over as a coop observer in the valley. Tucker this is all you. Jonjon is in davis and we all know they get less snow Not sure what the actual deal is with dave lesher going awol. hopefully someone can corner him in the post office or grocery store one day and get the lowdown.

JohnL Senior Member Registered: 01/06/00 Posts: 2817 Loc: Lost in the Trees	Quote: I rely on Chip's daily reports on Whitegrass.com. They are honest. What more do you need? Fair question. But Chip had a prominent link on the WG reports page, so he also saw some value in Dave Lester's site. Some reasons I'll give: - Detailed new snowfall and base depth measurements updated very early in the AM (useful enough for planning a predawn jaunt out to the Valley from NOVA.) How often does Chip measure at the snow stake? - As mentioned, previous days measurements. Often the valley gets 3-4 inches at at time for a week straight. Cumulative numbers add up - Canaan Heights is fairly high up (Dave's location), so it gives a pretty good indication of what happened mid mountain up, versus at the base. (Any locals want to contradict that?) Chip will tell you how things are skiing. Dave will tell you the numbers. If you've used his numbers, I think you get a better picture of how things are skiing. Just IMHO. Edited by JohnL (04/03/12 06:39 PM) _________________________ Blue Knob. It out Timberlines Timberline. Living the life of Endless Jimmy.
